Overview

About 1 Freizingham Lane Cottages

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

1 Freizingham Lane Cottages is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Rolvenden Layne, Cranbrook, Cranbrook (TN17 4PT). It has a recorded floor area of 72 m² (around 780 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (September 2010) shows an E (score 40), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (May 2009); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, roof efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor and window efficiency dropped from Average to Poor. The latest certificate is from September 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Period features are noted in the property record.

Held since January 1996 — that's 30 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £423,000 sits 467.8% above the 1996 sale of £74,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£96/sq ft) was about 61.7% below the postcode norm. At 72 m² it sits well below the postcode median (204 m² across 3 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally.
